hi, thank you for the idea but I finally solved the problem this way. I had to add this line to /etc/inittab
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 115200 vt100
and this other to /etc/securetty
ttyS0
Anyway, I rebooted the laptop and ttyS0 file has dissapeared from /dev folder. Now I only have ttys0, ttys1....
So I can't establish the telnet connection any more.
I have tried creating again with ./MAKEDEV ttyS0 and it creates it. But then I try:
setserial ttyS0 port 03F8 irq 4 autoconfig
to setup the serial port parameters and I get, "ttyS0,no such device or address".
Do you know what's happening?
Thank you very much again!
